...oh.
721 years ago, on the 5th of August 1305, William Wallace was captured by the English. He was later transported to London and executed. The First War of Scottish Independence, in which Wallace played an important role, would be won by the Scottish in 1328. #otd #history 🗃️
Even if you are not interested or in a position to help I really appreciate the reposts.🙏
Unfortunately, with my wife being essentially forced into retirement our financial situation has gone from bad to worse. we are still waiting on a number of checks & reimbursements but have past due bills & expenses we can no longer burden our families with & need help. (Thread)
Hey, folks. There's a @gofundme.com set up for artist Andy Fish, who is going through a very tough fight with two forms of cancer. He and his wife, cartoonist Veronica Fish (my Blackwood series cohorts) could use some help during this very tough time. I'm donating, hope you can. tinyurl.com/4wa86a6c

And once again, if you don't have money to pay for the Patreon, that's totally fine and I'm able to gift you with 3 months for free for you to try it out! Artists are the driving force of Bluesky and I want to build the definitive tool for you!
It's true, and I'm stupidly thrilled about it, too. Have loved MISTER FROST since I first saw it in the early 90s, and I'm excited to give it new life on the page. Really hope I don't fuck it up!
So happy to welcome ROB HUNTER to Echo On Publications. He will be penning the brand new novelization to the classic MISTER FROST! 📚🔪 📚🔪🩸

Bumping this again. Hope to see y'all out there, and even if you can't make it, signal boosts are super appreciated.
THURSDAY NIGHT Join us LIVE on The Scares That Shaped Us YouTube channel for a chat with @claymcleod.bsky.social about his new book DEVIL INSIDE and his favorite possession horror movies! 8 p.m. Eastern! Details below.
you have made my day, @sepinwall.bsky.social - you know what they say, “every time someone plugs the middleman, an ida gets her snark!”
The TV show The Middleman would do things like randomly have a shirtless Mark Dacascos fight dozens of Luchadors and use something called the Wu-Han Thumb of Death on their leader. We used to be a proper country.
We are a proud nation of thieves and finks.
Jailbird chic: behold the "convict-stripes" podium outfit for the Australian Olympic team at the 1976 Winter Olympics in Innsbruck – declared the ugliest uniform of the games and *the* hot property souvenir item. (An unmistakable Ronald McDonald flavour here, too.) 🗃️
The Soviet animated version is set on Dec 31 2026, but it is also very much worth experiencing (thank you to @rblemberg.bsky.social who showed it to me!) - www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oxP... Possibly even more terrifying than the original story.

Due to an insane August schedule, I'm going to get #109Kirbys rolling a little early. I'll do 9 commissions of Kirby characters to commemorate the 109th birthday of The King and raise money for charity. I'll be taking requests with bids via DM for the next few weeks. Samples of past campaigns below.
I've seen the Vimes Boots Theory take doing the rounds, and the most charitable thing I can say about it is it's coming from someone who's never been poor.

Action is for everyone, but it's *really* for old bastards like me and my fellow 50 year old, @hibachijustice.bsky.social. And @alicemaiomackay.bsky.social, who clocks up another year today as well.
A warm Happy Birthday to our host and stalwart leader, @hibachijustice.bsky.social , who has now reached AARP status and grabbing the associated discounts left and right. He's gone from Unc to Grump. Also his dyad in the Force, @travisjj.bsky.social birthday is also today. Suspcious timing hmm..

I'm on a bus that still has new car smell. That's a new experience.
Had the first session of #GlorianaTTRPG last night. We have a Duellist hiding out in the theatre company after killing a guy, a Charlatan from Yorkshire, a widowed Towswoman keeping her printing business afloat with a little light espionage, & a starry-eyed transmasc Apothecary. And one more TBA.

If this had turned out to be the Mystic Ninja Finger Knit and Storm Shadow was impersonating the president, we coulda knocked Citizen Kane off its perch in a heartbeat.
Jul 31st - The president had a press conference. The G.I. Joe team discovered him using different phrases, and press conferences (dated July 31st and September 1st) clasping his fingers together differently making them suspect an imposter. 📽️📅 G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013)
Hey everyone, I hate to have to bring this back up but unfortunately, my request to have a crown covered was rejected by the Canadian Dental Care Plan. The crown itself costs $1400, and I'll need your help to end this pain in my mouth that's troubled me for so long.
So, I really didn't want to have to go this route. But in short: I need a root canal and I can't afford the treatment now. If any of you are willing to help, both a small donation and a share can go a long way. www.gofundme.com/f/funds-need...
This is interesting because Evangelion aired on SBS in Australia on Saturday nights, IIRC, so I guess it had a much bigger cultural footprint here.
I just always find it interesting when distinctly different fan cultures brush up against each other. I think the average anime fan thinks way more people know about Eva than actually do, and that cinephiles think way more people appreciate Beau Travail than actually do
